Let's Talk Taxes. Dont play games with those who are less fortunate
Peter Holle argues Winnipeg's proposed cancellation of a $13 welfare Christmas bonus aims to balance a $700 million city budget by shifting pain to the vulnerable. He urges reform to end duplication, cut administration, buy services from the private sector, and dispose of excess property to save money without harming the poor. The piece advocates learning from global city tax control practices and ends urging politicians to stop budget games.

Canadians face $7.50 border entry fee proposal for NAFTA funding
A U S House committee debate proposes raising the border crossing fee from $5 to $7.50, applying to all visitors as part of Clinton administration NAFTA funding. Dorothy Maitland questions the plan, suggesting the fee targets travel firms to fund a general revenue pool. Local border talks also address cross border water pollution from Dromore Lake toward Lake Metigoshe and potential stop log dam measures.

The Kroeker family of Killarney heroically saved four year old Jared from a rabid skunk as their dog Avery protected them and was later found rabid. Avery faces six months quarantine or possible euthanization, while Jared recovers with his family weighing the risk of exposure. In a separate Manitoba incident a bank robbery near Pierson involved a male with a gun and an accomplice in a blue car, chased into Saskatchewan and halted by Carnduff RCMP.
